All else in life may shift like variable quantities in those scientific equations, but God’s love for you will remain constant forever.”

1 Chronicles 16:34 (NIV)
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Science tells us that a universal constant could be a physical constant, which is a quantity generally believed to be both common in nature and constant in time, for example, the speed of light. We use these constants in physics to set a standard as a balance in our equations so that the variables can be accurately adjusted. The variables in equations are the quantities that constantly change. To me, in the equations of life, the variable quantities are the ups and downs we endure, while the constants are God and the principles, purposes and precedents of his word.

The ancient writings of the Bible tell us that God is the Creator of the universe, including mankind. It’s not my intention to debate creation vs evolution here, but suffice to say that we all agree that the universe came into existence at one finite point in time. Since then, the whole universe has been in constant variation (probably as a result of the fall of mankind). The question that remains is what existed before that initial creative point? We believe that God has always existed – he is eternal and encompasses the timeline of infinity. The Bible says that God is and was and is to come. That is, he is constantly present. It also says that Jesus (who is God) is the same yesterday, today and forever. In other words, the Lord Almighty is the only true, reliable universal constant in the equations of life.

Do you feel that there are too many variables in your life inhibiting your hope for the future? Do you feel so frustrated with the many ups and downs you’re going through that you don’t know whether you’re coming or going? Are you longing for stability and consistency in your career, your relationships and your peace of mind? Well then, here’s the good news: the Lord your God is your one true constant in life. He is faithful and his love endures forever. He is dependable, trustworthy and consistent. His love for you endures your hardships, your difficulties, your disappointments and your losses. His love for you bears your frustrations, your failings and your flaws. All else in life may shift like variable quantities in those scientific equations, but God’s love for you will remain constant forever. As Hannah Smith said, “Nothing can separate you from God's love, absolutely nothing. God is enough for time; God is enough for eternity. God is enough!”

God-tracking is constantly relying on his consistent love.

Don’t Give Up, Look Up & Pray

I believe that you will help me through my upheavals and balance the variables in my life.”

“Dear God Almighty, I want to truly thank you for your consistent love for me. I know now that your faithful love endures all my hardships and my failings. I am sorry, O Lord, for taking my eyes off your constant presence in my life. Today, I put my confidence in your constancy and declare that you are the one and only true constant in my life. Help me to face my ups and downs in the knowledge that your love and your faithfulness never change. I believe that you will help me through my upheavals and balance the variables in my life. Thank you, Lord. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS TAKING HEART BECAUSE YOU KNOW GOD IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL

“So, whatever your disappointments of yesterday; whatever your fears of tomorrow or your needs today, take heart, Jesus will get you through.”


Jesus had returned home after visiting the Gadarenes where he had driven many demons out of a man into a herd of pigs. No sooner had he climbed out of the boat when he was approached by some people carrying a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Take heart, my son,” and promptly forgave the man’s sins and healed him completely.

On another occasion, while a large crowd pressed in around him, a woman who had been suffering from a bleed for 12 years touched his cloak in faith that she would be healed. Jesus turned to her and said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” She was instantly healed. On still another occasion, Jesus came walking to his disciples on the water of the sea of Galilee as they strained their oars against a raging storm. They were terrified at the sight of him walking on water. So, Jesus called out to them, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”

I read in the Bible that God is eternal. That is, he is infinite; he exists simultaneously in the past, the present and the future. We read this in Revelation where it says that God was and is and is to come. Notice the conjunction “and”. The phrase implies that God was and is and is to come. That is, he is all 3 conditions at the same time. And we know that God is all-powerful, all-knowing and ever-present. Therefore, whatever you and I face today, our God knows all about it and has the present power to meet our needs. Nothing is beyond the scope of God. Nothing is external to the control of God. And he exists already in the future, where our needs are met.

So, whatever your disappointments of yesterday; whatever your fears of tomorrow or your needs today, take heart, Jesus will get you through.

God-tracking is taking heart because you know God is always in control

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

I place my faith squarely in your omnipotent power to heal the sick, deliver our communities, restore our economy and bring good out of every disaster

“O Father God, I praise you for your love and care for me. You are with me always, in every circumstance of life. You are with me through global crises like Covid-19 and you are with me in personal intimate difficulties. I believe that nothing is external to your influence. Therefore, I place my faith squarely in your omnipotent power to heal the sick, deliver our communities, restore our economy and bring good out of every disaster. I believe you are already on the other side of my tomorrow. So, I take heart that, in you, I will overcome. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS FACING EVERY NEW DAY LIKE IT’S NEW YEAR’S DAY

The e-Devotional helping to keep you on-track

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS FACING EVERY NEW DAY LIKE IT’S NEW YEAR’S DAY
 
Psalm 118:24
This is the day that the LORD has made;
    let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Every New Year’s Day we make a big deal of new beginnings – out with the old and in with the new. As we wave farewell to the previous year we look forward to fresh hopes for a new beginning. We search our lives and create New Year’s resolutions with the anticipation of improving our lifestyles. But, the truth be told, 1st January is just another day! And, for me, as the old song goes, Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.

Tracking our way through life often leads us to situations that leave us wanting or feeling disappointed. So often when things don’t work out the way we’d hoped, we feel let down. Perhaps this is how Simon Peter felt as, from a distance, he watched the Roman soldiers nailing his hopes to a wooden cross. He’d had such high expectations for their little band of revolutionaries under the leadership of the One he called the Christ.

“The Christ? Yea, right!” Peter thought to himself. “All those words about the coming Kingdom and all those miracles… If he was the Christ, why doesn’t he do as the Pharisees are shouting and come down from the cross?” Peter had given up everything to follow Jesus. He’d put his hope in the words of his Lord but now, as he watched the Christ die his hopes for a new life were dashed. But if Peter had truly discerned what Jesus was alluding to when he said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up,” he would have understood that the cross was not the end of their hopes but the beginning. A new day was coming when the Christ would rise again!

Tradition has it that Jesus and his disciples sang Psalm 118 at the last Passover supper they ate together. On the eve of the crucifixion they would have sung the words, “This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Indeed, it was the eve of a new dispensation though before they could realise the joy of resurrection they needed to endure the pain of crucifixion!

As you face the New Year, dear God-tracker, you may have your own hopes for great new dreams. Indeed, God-tracking is based on the premise that God knows the plans he has for each of us – plans for prosperity, hope and a future. Though sometimes those hopes seem to become dashed remember joy comes in the morning. Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.

God-tracking is facing every new day like it’s New Year’s Day

Keep your eyes on Jesus, always.

Dudley

It’s all in the Book…


Don’t Give Up, Look Up!

And as I face disappointments and let downs, help me to remember that every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before

Pray
 “Dear Father God, thank you so much for sending Jesus to die and rise again. If it weren’t for the new life he made available through his work then I’d be facing a future completely void of any hope. So as I face this New Year I choose to acknowledge you in every day of it. Guide me and help me to track your plans and purposes every single day, not just the bright new days of January. I commit this year to you and determine to seek first your kingdom and your righteousness, always. And as I face disappointments and let downs, help me to remember that every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. Amen.”
